Nephopteryx. 

 In Kepliopteryx ? hasilaris of Zcller the fore avium's are 11-veined, 

 4 and 5 togetlier from one point at the extremity of the cell, 

 8 out of 7, a short furcation before apices. The hind wings are 

 8-veined ; 5 out of -4 ahout half way from the margin ; cell nearly 

 closed. I refer busihiris to Xcplioptcrijx, because the maxillary palpi 

 in the male have no discolorous hair-tuft.
